For me I think that because I've been depressed all my life, and that is my 'normal', healthy emotion, particularly pleasurable emotion is uncomfortable and unbearable. It goes a long way toward explaining why I would fight myself to get better:
Q: Don't you want to feel better?
A: No, not really. I want to *be* better, but I don't want to feel better.
I'm getting to be able to tolerate it though. Even starting to like it.
